Critic Reviews
Marcus Ellis - Halliday's Wine Companion
From a single site in Willunga, this is made in the same way each year – fermented cool to about 8% in a rotary fermenter, then pressed to tank to complete fermentation and rest for a couple of months. No sulphur. Juicy and dark fruited. Blackberry pastille, black cherry liqueur, allspice, anise, white pepper, carob and some wild herbs, offering plenty of flavour without overstepping. Fine, coffee-ground tannins tighten the finish.
